Main Show starts at 7:30
Andrea Jones-Rooy is here to explain what data sets say about how misinformation is consumed and shared and who’s responsible for making it. Plus we discuss the results of an OpenAI study detailing how people utilize ChatGPT. Meta unveiled its $799 Ray Ban Display smart glasses at Meta Connect. And a viewer is curious about our take on Australia’s social media ban on those 16 years of age or younger.
